If you are in Hawaii, a lot of public and private High Schools, as well as all of the state colleges (and probably most of the private colleges) offer Hawaiian language classes. There may also be private teachers and groups that learn and practice Hawaiian together. You can also buy a program that helps you to speak.

Kamehameha Schools is now offering an online Distance Education course in Hawaiian language, if you are unable to attend classes physically. The cost is $25.

How do you say I have Hawaiian blood in hawaiian?

NOTE: The Hawaiian language is a phonetic language (almost like Spanish). Please keep this in mind while reading/speaking the italicized words.The Hawaiian word for "I" (the pronoun) can be au or wau. The word ko'u actually means "mine", the possessive form of "me."Unfortunately, there is no definite word for "have"; the closest Hawaiian word would be he, which almost means "got." Blood in Hawaiian is koko. Interestingly enough, "Hawaiian" in Hawaiian is Hawai'i. So:He koko Hawai'i au.(He ko-ko Hah-vah-ee-'ee ow-oo.)I have Hawaiian blood.(Edited: The above mentioned answer would literally mean "I'm Hawaiian Blood," however, in order to say "I HAVE Hawaiian blood" correctly; you would say "He koko Hawai'i ko'u.")It's also very important that you pronounce au the way it is illustrated. If you pronounce it like "ow", you'd actually be saying ao, which means (most often) "cloud."Also take note that the adjective (Hawaiian) is after the noun (blood). This is proper Hawaiian grammar; the adjective always goes after the noun.If you'd like to learn more about the Hawaiian language, please visit ulukau.org. The site is in Hawaiian, so click on the tab labeled "English Text" at the very top of the page.Or for quick learning, go to www.instanthawaii.com and click on the box labeled "Learn Hawaiian."Happy speaking!** If your intention is "I am Hawaiian" your translation would be "He Hawai'i Au". If your intention is to say "I am Native Hawaiian" (Hawaiian born and bred) you would say Kanaka Mauoli Au.
